Jewelry Care Tips:
Avoid exposing your plated jewelry to water, sweat, lotions, perfumes, and cleaning products.
Always remove your jewelry before showering, swimming, or working out.
Store your pieces in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches and fading.
Gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove oils and dirt.
Do not use chemical jewelry cleaners or polishing cloths meant for solid metals.
Pro Tip: To extend the life of your plated jewelry, wear it as a finishing touch—after applying makeup, perfume, or hairspray.
